And if this chapter once again has the messed up symbols I'm gonna find who is the head of ff.net and blow their ear drums out! Well onto the ficcy that I pray has no weird letters!

Kagome got to the hot spring that she had smelt. It was so big! A clear river connected with the spring creating a small waterfall, there was a deep section and a shallow area with boulders to rest on. At the end of the spring a large tree loomed over it blocking off a cave that seemed to have boulders as chairs.

Marveling over it all she barely heard the sound of footsteps. Turning she saw Inu-Yasha with her bag over his shoulder staring at her waiting.

"I could have been naked!" She shrieked as he dropped the bag at her feet.

"Stupid wench you forgot your bag!" Barking he continued walking. "Come."

She hesitated but gave up and followed him, "Where are we going?"

"To my house." was all he said as he stopped in front of a cave.

"You live in a cave?" She asked as he reared at her and scowled.

"I live in a house in a cave!" He walked into the very dark cave as Kagome peered down into the dark abyss. 'Still looks like a cave.'

Inu-Yasha stood by the wall in front of her groping the wall. 'What is he doing?' Kagome thought to her self. Inu-Yasha walked back to her and noises were heard at the entrance. Turning her head all Kagome saw was darkness. "What happened to the door?"

It was dark and Kagome could only see his outline as he stopped and felt the wall again. This time a light appeared above them and more followed lighting themselves down the hall.

"Wow." Kagome whispered. "What is this place?"

"My house," 'and yours also.' Inu-Yasha said continuing to walk down the hall. Soon they came to a dead end.

'Is this it?' Kagome thought as Inu-Yasha pushed something and the wall became transparent. 'Wow.' He walked through it and looked at her waiting. She stuck her arms out in front of her and was surprised to find they didn't come in contact with cool rock. Taking the last step through the wall it became solid once again. Kagome didn't care about that she was gaping at the sight in front of her.

(An: no not Inu with out a shirt, though I'd like that! ^_^)

She was standing in front of a house she was sure she had only seen in storybooks. The ceiling was so high and let in sheets of golden sun light through. The floor was marble with sakura blossoms carved into them.

A beautiful stone staircase led up stairs; to her right there were two doors. On the frame of the first door vines crept up to the top and had flowers Kagome had never seen carved into it.

The other door had various animals carved into the frame. "I- Inu-Yasha, would you mind if I went and looked at the other rooms?" Kagome asked her voice like a little girl who was asking her daddy to buy her a new doll.

"Keh! Go ahead there ain't anyone else here!" She nodded and ran up the stairs faster then she ever did. Inu-Yasha watched her bounce up the stairs and as soon as she was out of sight he slumped to the ground.

'Why do I keep thinking about such small things I never noticed about her?' Inu-Yasha shook his head and closed his eyes. 'I don't like her. I don't like her like that, I don't like her!'

Kagome had looked into the first five rooms. They were large rooms; they had big beds, a trunk to put things in and a small table. Every room had different frames; the first one had koi fishes, the second plum blossoms, the third small girls holding flowers, the fourth turtles, and the fifth had cranes.

Kagome came to a door at the end of the hall it had a dark red curtain hanging as a door. This door's frame had dogs carved into it. The dogs were chasing each other around and playing. It looked so real Kagome had thought one of the dog's tails wagged.

"I definitely need to sleep!" She grumbled entering the room. It was larger then the others, a messy bed large enough to fit three people rested against a wall on a raised platform with steps. The wall across the bed was made entirely of glass it had cushions with many large pillows.

"It's like a couch!" She laughed to herself jumping on the huge mountain of pillows. The room had a clear view of the wild untamed forest. The scenery was wait Kagome loved the most of the Sengoku Jidia era. Back in Tokyo the largest tree she saw was Inu-Yasha's. The rest of Tokyo had small parks with various trees but nothing like here.

The forest always calmed her spirits she felt more at home looking at the forest then she had ever felt before. Returning back to reality she got out of the mountain of pillows who were threatening to swallow her up whole.

She fixed her skirt and decided to be help full. She pulled back the covers of the large bed and started fixing them. She smoothed out the cover and spotted a lump at the foot of the bed pulling the cover back again she reached out for what ever the lump was and found a handmade dog stuffed animal.

The stuffed animal was beautifully stitched. Every seam and stitch looked like a master craftsman had done the work. "I wonder who's this is," she thought out loud.

"It used to be mine." Inu-Yasha said behind her. Kagome turned to see the other han-you leaning against the wall with his arms folded into his kimono. "You can have him, his name's Inu."

Kagome hugged Inu and looked at Inu-Yasha smiling. "Thank you, he's very cute! Who made him?"

Inu-Yasha turned his head to the side acting as if he was gazing out the window but he was trying very hard not to let the faint blush that was creeping on his checks to be found out, "Go take your bath. If you go down the stairs and then go to the door on your left there's a hall that leads you outside to the hot spring."

Kagome nodded and gathered her bath things and followed Inu-Yasha's directions. Walking down the long corridor she finally came to a door, she opened it saw the lavish hot spring. Walking down a trail small trail she got ready to take her much-needed bath.

After she finished her bath and swam around for a while she got out and changed into shorts and a long sleeved thin shirt. She found a rabbit sitting calmly next to her bag chewing on the strap. "Hey you!" She said trying to make her voice sound threatening. The rabbit looked up at her staring at the strange han-you girl through ruby eyes. "Do you know who I am!" The rabbit blinked. "I am a han-you! I'm a han-you that will eat you up!"

The rabbit sat there still looking up at the girl blinking. "BE AFRAID!!!" she jumped at the rabbit that barely jumped out of the way. Kagome ran after the rabbit nipping at its heels. She chased the rabbit around for ten minutes before she cornered it against a tree.

"Heh heh heh, now who's afraid!" Kagome said as the rabbit shook.

"You should pick on things your own size." Inu-Yasha's voice said behind her as she turned to look at him.

"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome said alarmed. "Leave me alone I wanna catch the bunny!" She turned back just to see the rabbit run off in horror.

"You lost your prey!" Inu-Yasha laughed as Kagome turned to look at him. He laughed with his eyes closed.

"Fine dog boy," she huffed crouching, "You're my new prey!"

Inu-Yasha kept laughing, "Catch me if you can dog-girl!" He bolted off running with Kagome close behind. They ran for 15 minutes until they were on top of the hill the house was built in.

Inu-Yasha faked a trip and Kagome leaped on him. "Got ya!" She said as he flipped her over and they rolled on the ground. They stopped after a while and Kagome looked up at Inu-Yasha who was lying on top of her.

His face moved in closer to hers, 'God is he going to kiss me!' She kept looking at him waiting. Inches away from her he stopped gaining control of himself.

"Dinners ready." He said and got off of her. 'Dammit I almost kissed the wench!' He turned around and walked to a tree that had rocks around it. Kagome just stared after him.

'He was so close, What was he going to do!?' She thought fighting the blush that threatened to claim her face 'Why am I looking to far into this, he doesn't like me! Yeah that's right! Inu-Yasha doesn't like me! Ha I'm just his shard detector!' Now feeling more at ease Kagome sighed and walked over to Inu-Yasha, 'Even if he doesn't like me,…I-I still like him.'

Inu-Yasha put his hand on the tree and it glowed red and the tree became transparent revealing a flight of stairs. Walking down them Kagome wondered out loud, "How many entrances are there?"

"There's the cave, the garden, the hill and one through the forest so four." Inu-Yasha said as they walked out by a kitchen. "We'll stay here today and tomorrow we go back to the village."

"Where will I sleep?" She asked sitting down on a pillow by the table.

"The last room down the hall, you'll sleep there." Inu-Yasha said serving himself some of the rice and pig he made.

'Who's room is that?" she scooped rice on her wooden plate.

"Mine." He said eating food.

"Oh if it's yours I'll just sleep in one of the other rooms!" 'No wonder why it smelt so much like him.'

"No. You'll sleep in that room and I'll just sleep somewhere else." Inu-Yasha said eating. 'I rather sleep in their with you………no. I DON'T LIKE HER!!!'

"I'll sleep on the couch and you can have your bed." Kagome looked at him and tried to pout.

"Dammit what ever!" Inu-Yasha said finishing his food. "Hurry up eating it's dark already!"

Kagome smiled she finished her food, Inu-Yasha cleaned the two plates with water from a well in the kitchen and Kagome went up stairs to change her clothes.

After she got comfy in her bed Inu-Yasha came in and laid on the bed facing the wall. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep in the soothing presence of Inu-Yasha.
